Your Founder Should Be
Raising Capital.
Not Managing
Property Managers.

Offense raises capital. Defense protects it. Let Verada be your defense.

Growing operators, family offices, and out-of-state owners need real AM infrastructure — without the overhead, benefits, and risk of a full-time hire. I serve as your outsourced AM function on a flat monthly basis. No onboarding. No HR. Immediate start.

Asset Management Done Right Is
a Full-Time Job.
Is Your Team Treating It That Way?

01

The Founder Is Playing Defense

Your founder built this company to raise capital and source deals — not to field calls from a property manager about a roof leak at 7pm. Every hour your founder spends on operations is an hour not spent on the next deal, the next LP, or the next fund. That's the real cost. That cost is real even if it doesn't show up on a spreadsheet.

02

The Acquisitions Team Is Distracted

Your acquisitions person underwrites the next deal in the morning and reviews variance reports in the afternoon. Neither gets done well. The best operators separate these functions entirely — your deal team finds assets, a dedicated AM function protects them. When these roles are blended, performance on both sides suffers.

03

A Full-Time Hire Is a Big Commitment

A qualified mid-level AM hire costs $195,000–$273,000 fully loaded in year one — salary, bonus, benefits, overhead, and 60–90 days of onboarding before they are productive. And if it doesn't work out, the exit is complicated. I give you operator-grade AM at a fraction of that cost, with zero onboarding lag and 30-day termination if needed.

Built for Operators Who Are
Serious About Growth

01

Growing Operators

500–2,000 Units · DFW & Sunbelt

Operators expanding beyond what a founder or acquisitions team can manage alone. Portfolio's growing faster than the team. You need AM infrastructure without the full-time hire overhead — yet.

02

Family Offices

3–10 DFW Properties · Private Capital

Private capital, multifamily exposure, no dedicated AM team. The properties run fine until they don't. You need senior AM oversight without building a real estate operation from scratch.

03

Out-of-State Owners

DFW Assets · Remote Ownership

Owners based outside Texas with DFW assets and no local operator. You need experienced local eyes who know every submarket, every PM company, and every lender in North Texas.

04

Early Stress Situations

DSCR Tight · Still Current

Assets underperforming expectations — occupancy slipping, DSCR tightening, lender starting to ask questions. A proactive third-party AM engagement signals to your lender you are taking action. It may be the difference between an extension and a notice of default.

Own Texas Assets From Out of State?

"Your PM company knows you are not watching. I am."

Florida, California, New York — I see it constantly. Owners who bought Texas assets during the migration boom now manage them from 1,500 miles away. Your PM reports to no one accountable. You fly in twice a year and hope things are running. Problems get discovered late and solved expensively.

I'm your local AM presence — someone who shows up, knows every DFW submarket, holds the PM accountable week to week, and calls you with the real story before small problems become expensive ones.

You do not need to be in Dallas to own Dallas. You just need someone in Dallas who operates like you would — if you had the time and the local market knowledge to do it yourself.

No Championship Organization Wins
Without Both Sides of the Ball

Your acquisitions team is your offense — sourcing deals, underwriting opportunities, building relationships, closing. Your founder is your quarterback — raising capital, managing investor relations, setting strategy.

Asset management done right is defense. PM oversight. Lender reporting. Capex execution. Collections. Budget variance. Investor reporting. Every week. Every property. Relentlessly.

When your offensive players are also playing defense, both sides of the ball suffer. I'm your defense — experienced, local, accountable — without the burden of a new hire.

Your Team — Offense

Founder — Capital raising, investor relations, LP management, building the next fund

Acquisitions — Deal sourcing, underwriting, broker relationships, closing the next asset

Leadership — Strategy, partnerships, growth — not fielding PM calls at 7pm

Verada — Defense

PM Oversight — Weekly KPIs, collections, leasing performance, vendor accountability

Lender Reporting — DSCR, covenant compliance, direct lender communication

Capex & Operations — Contractor oversight, draw management, budget variance, investor reporting

What That AM Hire
Actually Costs You

Base salary is only the beginning. Add bonus, benefits, payroll taxes, office overhead, and 60–90 days of onboarding before they are productive — and your affordable hire becomes your largest fixed cost. I deliver operator-grade AM at a fraction of that burden.

You Are Already Collecting the AM Fee

Most sponsors collect 1–2% of EGI as an asset management fee. I work within that existing fee structure. At the portfolio level our flat monthly rate consumes a portion of the AM fee you already collect — leaving meaningful margin while I handle all execution. You continue earning your AM fee. I handle the work that earns it.

Everything Your AM Department
Should Be Doing — Without the Department

I hold your PM company to real operating KPIs every week. They report to me. I report to you.

  • Weekly PM calls and KPI enforcement

Flat Monthly.
No Surprises.
Scales With You.

Two engagement structures — per property for focused engagements, or a portfolio flat rate when you want Verada as your full outsourced AM function. Both are flat monthly, no hourly billing, no percentage games. The portfolio rate is structured to work within the AM fees you already collect from your investors.

Per Property · Stabilized

$

Single Asset · 150+ Units

Stabilized asset with PM in place. Oversight, lender reporting, and monthly performance tracking. Best fit for owners who need real accountability without full operational management.

Per Property · Value-Add / Active

$$

Most Common Engagement

Value-add or lease-up asset requiring active PM oversight, capex coordination, occupancy management, and full lender compliance reporting. Full-service AM on a single property.

Portfolio Rate · Full AM Function

$$$

3+ Properties · Outsourced AM Dept

Full outsourced AM function across your portfolio. Scales efficiently as you grow — the per-property cost decreases as the portfolio expands. Most cost-effective engagement structure.

Pricing Is Disclosed in Our First Conversation

Every engagement is different. Asset size, condition, portfolio structure, and the AM fee your investors have agreed to all factor into what makes sense. I build engagements around what works for your specific situation — not a one-size-fits-all rate card. Reach out and I'll have a direct conversation about what a fair structure looks like for you.

The AM Fee Question

Not every sponsor collects the same AM fee — equity partners, waterfall structures, and fund terms all affect what you actually keep. I understand that. I've worked within lean fee structures and alongside sophisticated equity partners before. If you are not sure whether the economics work, have that conversation with me first — I'd rather find a creative structure than lose a good client over a number.

You Should Know Exactly
Where Every Asset Stands.

From First Conversation
to Ongoing AM Partnership

Unlike lender engagements that resolve when an asset sells, sponsor relationships are designed to be ongoing. Verada grows with your portfolio — starting with your current assets and expanding the engagement as you acquire. I become your permanent AM infrastructure, not a temporary fix.

When you eventually reach the scale where bringing AM in-house makes sense, I help you build that function and transition to it cleanly. Many operators find that even after hiring internally, I remain as a senior oversight layer — the senior check above the in-house team.

The Ongoing Relationship

Sponsor engagements have no defined end date. I continue as long as I'm creating value. Our goal is to become the AM infrastructure your portfolio grows around — not a vendor you rotate in and out. Most clients start with 3 properties and expand naturally as their portfolio grows.

01

Discovery Call — 20 Minutes

I learn about your portfolio, ythe team structure, and where you are feeling the most stretched. No pitch — just a direct conversation about fit.

02

Asset Assessment

Send me your T12 and rent rolls. I analyze each asset, document the baseline, and identify the highest-impact opportunities. You get a written assessment before you sign anything.

03

Engagement Agreement

One-page agreement — scope, pricing, term, travel policy. First month billed upon signing. No ambiguity, no surprise fees.

04

Immediate Operational Start

Site visit within the first week. PM assessment, vendor review, reporting cadence established. I'm operational before your prior AM person would have finished onboarding.

05

Ongoing AM Partnership

Monthly reporting, on time. Weekly PM oversight. No end date — the relationship grows as the portfolio does.

The Better Part of Two Decades Finding What Others Miss.

Verada Asset Management was founded by a senior multifamily operator with the better part of two decades doing what most people in commercial real estate avoid — looking closely at what isn't working, and figuring out exactly how to fix it.

The career arc began in energy — negotiating mineral rights and land acquisitions in some of the most complex title environments in the industry. That foundation in deal structure, negotiation, and due diligence translated naturally into commercial real estate, beginning on the brokerage side underwriting over 125 assets valued at more than $2.25 billion across the Southwest.

That perspective drove a natural move into acquisitions, and then into the discipline where it matters most — asset management. Prior roles included direct management of portfolios exceeding $1 billion across DFW and $500M+ across Texas, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Georgia, and the Carolinas. Full cycle experience — acquisition, renovation, stabilization, and disposition — achieving returns exceeding 30% IRR on multiple assets.

This firm exists because growing operators deserve the same the rigor your portfolio demands that billion-dollar portfolios receive — without hiring a billion-dollar AM team to get it.

  • Up to a dozen closings per year as a principal operator
  • Reported to hundreds of investors simultaneously
  • Institutional equity partners: KKR, Cantor Fitzgerald, Liberty Mutual
  • Heavy capex programs — bidding through draw management
  • Multifamily brokerage background — investment sales and underwriting background
